Lunt 130mm Solar Ready Telescope Kit
The Largest Modular Solar Telescope Lunt Builds
The Lunt 130mm Solar Ready Kit is the largest modular solar telescope in the Lunt catalogue. It uses a 130mm FLP51 ED triplet objective at 910mm f/7 with ion assisted broadband antireflection coatings, and an internal pressure tuned etalon rated at a verified 0.45 angstrom bandpass. Lunt lists theoretical maximum magnification at 225x.
Both trims share the same core hardware: a B1800 blocking filter with 18mm of clear aperture, a 2 inch CNC machined dual speed rack and pinion focuser with 10:1 reduction and ZWO EAF compatibility, mounting rings with a solar handle and red dot sun finder, a 12 inch Vixen dovetail, and an aluminium hard case with fitted foam.
Eyepiece coverage is identical too, with a 7.2 to 21.5mm zoom alongside the LSEPSET five piece flat field set in 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 19mm and 27mm. The Flagship trim adds the LFPT internal double stack module, which puts a 0.4 angstrom etalon in series with the internal unit for a combined bandpass under 0.28 angstroms.
Key Features
- Flagship Aperture - 130mm of clear aperture through an FLP51 ED triplet is the largest modular platform Lunt offers.
- LFPT Double Stack - the Flagship trim adds an internal 0.4 angstrom etalon in series, taking combined bandpass under 0.28 angstroms.
- Customer Installed Module - the LFPT double stack fits without a factory return, so an upgrade does not mean shipping the telescope back.
- Complete Eyepiece Set - both trims include the zoom plus the LSEPSET five piece flat field set covering roughly 34x to 114x.
- Imaging Ready - the B1800 gives 18mm of clear aperture for full frame sensors and the focuser takes a ZWO EAF motor.
- Night Time Triplet - with the solar module removed the tube is a 130mm f/7 FLP51 ED triplet refractor at 910mm focal length.
